Default unknown pieces?

I know long line of parts laying out across my foor has got to be over a hundred pieces and I only have a half a dozen I have no clue what they are. I have not looked too hard for where they might go, just put them in thier own little pile, anybody know what any of them are?

Area 51?

I don't recognize most of those parts. 1 looks like a body mount, 1 looks like a cheap wedding ring, 1 looks like a saxophone mouthpiece cover, and I don't know what the white pieces are. I have been in, under and around the body of my 72 while it was off the frame and I can't recall seeing those pieces. Are you sure they all came off your Vette?

The white pieces are door trim that fit at the rear. I know on my 70 they are polished but were painted white when the car was white. I just removed the paint and polished them with some very fine steel wool. Here you can see the pieces at the rear of the door opener, polished.


The one piece with a cross in the bottom of it is a drain, like maybe for the floor board or battery box.

ok I only got one each so I better check the car and hope one side is still there. Not sure if they all go to this car, they all came in the boxes of parts that were suppose to be everything but that sure was not the case so no suprise if there a few odd pieces that dont go to it.

The tall rubber piece with the + fits under the battery or jack compartment. There is a hole in your fiberglass bottom. The far right solid round piece looks like your front stabilizer rubber bushings,
The top pieces long rubber flat pieces are rear spring liners.
The other right round rubber piece looks like a cover for the steering linkage bushing cover.
Round metal piece....I don't know.
Hope that helps.
